Abstract

X-ray;Supernovae
We here report a possible detection of X-ray emission from the supernova iPTF13bvn (ATel #5137). A series of Swift ToO observations have been performed since 2013 June 17. From June 17 to July 13, there are 9 observations with a total exposure of 31.5 ks. From the combined X-Ray Telescope (XRT) image, there is an excess of X-ray photons at the supernova position. In the 0.3-10 keV band, we searched a 9 arcsec radius circular region centered at the supernova position and detected 8 photons.
